  • Patent number: 9645934
    Abstract: A page descriptor can be stored in advance in a memory management unit under various conditions so that an address translation overhead can be reduced. The memory management unit comprises an address translation unit that receives a memory access request as a virtual address and translates the virtual address to a physical address. A translation lookaside buffer (TLB) stores page descriptors of a plurality of physical addresses, the address translation unit determining whether a page descriptor corresponding to a received virtual address is present in the translation lookaside buffer. A prefetch buffer stores page descriptors of the plurality of physical addresses.

  • Patent number: 9003092
    Abstract: A bus system of a system on chip (SoC) includes a first and a second masters, a first slave, and a first and a second control modules. The control modules generates a first and a second access control state signals in response to a first locking access preparation request signal from a corresponding master. The access control signals are broadcasted between the first and the second control modules through a communication channel. A method of operating a bus system in a locked access mode includes allowing one of masters to access one of slaves through a control module and restricting other masters from accessing the one of slaves through other control modules connecting the other masters and the one of slaves in accordance with a control state signal.
